Bimmercode....is there anyway to backup my coded settings?

I have done some coding with ambient lighting, etc.....but have to take my car in on Friday to have the climate control LCD replaced. I believe they have to re-install software for this and I will lose all my coding.

Is there anyway to save my current coded settings so I can reload them after they update software? I know Bimmercode lets you save the factory settings before you code (in case you need to revert back).

No, unfortunately you will have to recode everything again.

Actually this isn't true. Apparently if you have iOS, it makes backups of whatever the coded settings are each time you connect. It does not appear to do this if you use Android. I was able to go back to my factory settings with ambient lighting and then I was able to go to the backup I made today and it recoded all of it automatically.
